What Are Minecraft Villages?
Villages are randomly generated structures in Minecraft that serve as homes for villagers. They
are one of the most important structures in the game, providing access to trading, crafting stations,
and valuable loot. Villages generate in several biomes, each with a unique building style.
Village Biomes & Styles
- Plains: Classic wooden houses with oak and cobblestone — the most common village
type
- Desert: Sandstone buildings with flat roofs and blue terracotta accents
- Savanna: Acacia wood buildings with orange-toned roofs
- Taiga: Spruce wood buildings with stone foundations
- Snowy Plains: Spruce buildings with packed ice and blue ice decorations
- Meadow: Added in 1.18, features birch and stone buildings
What You Can Find in Villages
- Villager Trading: Trade with various villager professions for enchanted items,
emeralds, and rare resources
- Iron Golems: Large villages spawn iron golems that drop iron ingots when defeated
- Crafting Stations: Find blast furnaces, smokers, composters, brewing stands, and
more
- Loot Chests: Houses contain chests with food, iron, emeralds, obsidian, and
sometimes diamonds
- Crop Farms: Ready-made wheat, carrot, potato, and beetroot farms

Village Mechanics
- Population: Villages spawn with 1-5 villagers depending on the number of beds
- Raids: Killing a patrol captain gives Bad Omen, triggering a raid when entering a
village
- Zombie Villages: 2% of villages generate as zombie villages with no villagers and
cobwebs
- Hero of the Village: Surviving a raid gives discounts on villager trades
About This Tool
This Village Finder uses the cubiomes library — the same algorithm used by Minecraft Java Edition — to
calculate village positions. The results are 100% accurate for Java Edition seeds. For Bedrock Edition,
results may vary slightly for some seeds.
The tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your seed is never sent to any server.
